CALDWELL, Ohio — Apocalypse sleeps on his own blue cot in a dormitory in Noble Correctional
Institution. Though underweight while he recovers from a recent illness, the 3-year-old St. Bernard
is still too large to be kenneled next to a bed like most of the 18 dogs staying in the Ohio
prison.

Like all of the dogs in the prison’s Canine Care Program, Apocalypse is a rescue from the nearby
Guernsey County dog shelter.
